Taylor is a TEAPOT. He weighs 12 + lbs but is not overweight at all.... just big. He eats 1/2 a container in the morning and 1/2 at dinnertime. When I fill the containers, I full them to the brim. Maybe 1/3 of a container in the morning and 1/3 at dinnertime for your baby. I'm not sure what to tell you. Taylor turned 2 years old yesterday and still will probably fill out some more. (And I thought I was buying a "Purse Dog") Don't get me wrong, we LOVE his size. He is a good size to go boating with us.
